Special Guest

Pete Carroll brought his college coach, Chester Caddas, on the trip to Arkansas. Caddas was head coach at Pacific from 1972-78, getting promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach for Carroll’s senior year. Caddas also gave Carroll his first coaching job at Pacific.
Among those who coached for Caddas are current UCLA assistant Jim Colletto (an assistant while Carroll played at UOP), Patriots assistant Dante Scarnecchia (an assistant in New England with Carroll), Stanford coach Walt Harris (Carroll friend, assistant while Carroll played at UOP), Syracuse coach Greg Robinson (Carroll teammate, friend, UOP assistant) and Bob Cope (assistant while Carroll played at UOP), who got Carroll a job as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1977.
